You may try calling a local glass place or find an auto restoration shop near you. I know a lot of guys have original glass buffed when restoring cars, especially glass that's either not remanufactured or hard to find.

I remember water being used to keep the glass cool during the buffing process. It is a mess if your wipers scratch the windshield.

Old thread, I know..
I just bought an 05 with what looks like brillo scratches on the entire rear glass. Looks like someone scrubbed the entire glass with a scratch pad.
I have moderate polishing experience.
Was thinking about having the glass replaced but if this'll work.. What ya think??

Give it a shot and let us know how it goes! I’ve got some serious scratches on my 93 rear glass, but it’s pretty far down on the list for me.

Yeah, I say try it. You’re thinking of new glass anyway. If it works, great, and money saved. If it doesn’t, you’re no worse off.
